Marriage
This is a picture of me and my husband taken about 32 years ago when we were about 22 years old. We were living in Massachusetts and didn’t have all the “stuff” many others had, but we had a lot of the things money cannot buy and government cannot give you. THEY LIED TO US! Most of you have heard the statistic that about half of all marriages break apart. However, those numbers are wrong.
A few weeks ago, Phyllis Schlafly asked me to join her as a co-host for her nationwide radio program, Eagle Forum Live. Our guest was Shaunti Feldhahn, a well-respected author and public policy analyst, and we talked about marriage.
Shaunti said this: “There is no such thing as a 50 % divorce rate. It’s never been close. Right now 72 percent of people are still married to their first spouse—that’s Census Bureau data.”
Of the 28 percent who are no longer married to their first spouse, a good chunk of those people were married when their spouse died. We behave in accordance with our belief system. (CBN News article: Divorce Shocker Most Marriages Do Make It)
